AGENDA ITEM #4
At the last Springfield Township Board meeting I presented
a set of plans for the shelter building and explained our
progress.
It was also explained to the Springfield Board that
liquor at a golf course was an accepted part of the game of
golf and also a necessity if the course was to be self suf-
ficient. It was pointed out that equipment was costly and
the time to install it would be in the very near future, but
before our Park Commission took any action we would like to
have some commitment from the Springfield Township Board on
how they would react to an application from us for a class
"C" license.
After a short discussion a resolution stating "the
Springfield Board would look favorably upon the application
at the time it was presented." The resolution was adopted
four (4) aye - one (1) nay.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Park Commission pass a reso-
lution authorizing the Director to proceed with the necessary
steps to obtain a class "C" license at Springfield -Oaks.
AGENDA ITEM #5
Mr. Jack Vought, the Park Manager at White Lake -Oaks,
will present slides on the before and after appearance of
the second nine.
We all can be proud of the performance our Park people
did on this crash program. This nine will be one of the
finest in our County and will make White Lake -Oaks a popular
course and a profitable operation.
The following are the costs for the project:
1. Revamping and correcting pump set up
2. New installation of entire sprinkling
system
3. Moving and regrading (It is estimated
over 150,000 yards of soil was moved)
4. Digging of lake, spreading and grading
peat
5. Corregated metal tile (purchase from
Road Commission)
6. Seed and fertilizer
7. Two small shelter buildings
8. Miscellaneous

AGENDA ITEM #7
Signs
Temporary signs have been designed and ordered. it is
expected they will be erected next week.
Estimated cost was $70.00 each. Eight signs were
ordered.
Marshbarik Park
We have reviewed this area with the staff of H.C.M.A.
They do not believe it serves a purpose as a regional park
and have doubts that it would serve to the best advantage as
a County Park. I concur with their :opinion. This area
would make a wonderful community park and ideally should be
under the jurisdiction of West Bloomfield Township, who now
has a Parks and Recreation Commission. A working agreement
between them and H.C.M.A. would be most logical. Personal
opinions from the Township Supervisor and others follow this
approach, however, a formal discussion or stand from the
Township and Park Commission has not been taken.
Work Orders
T have approved work orders on Addison -Oaks Shelter
Building as follows:
1. 411 drain the and pea gravel perimeter
of building $ 710.00
2. Waterproof exterior 457.60
3. Excavation for drain tile and
waterproofing 320.00
4. Change of roof shingles (not yet
approved) 817.00
$2,304.60
10% overhead 230.46
5% profit 126.75
$2,661.81
It is recommended that a resolution authorizing the
Director to approve necessary and emergency change orders
be made.
AGENDA ITEM #8
